I’m Hungry!

“The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.”

~Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn~

And so it was, the Saturday morning after my boss’s retirement party. After an evening filled with appetizers such as pretzels and beer cheese dip, meatballs, sausage and cheese, taco dip, raw veggies and delicious crostinis. After a few slices of pizza. After a couple of drinks.

And after the cake…the magnificent lemon poppy seed cake!

I ate like Miss Piggy.

Yet, I wanted more when I woke Saturday morning.

It could have been in my head.

It could have been my body rejecting all the things I usually stay away from.

It could have been fatigue from a long day.

Whatever the reason, I responded by giving the ungrateful wretch what it wanted:

More food.

Well, now that I stop to think about it, you are certainly right. I kind of do big meal then small meal, etc., but, there’s always a meal. I’m a sugar addict so that cake sent my pulse to quickening. 🙂

Mercy. You had me at beer cheese and then you showed me a beautiful cake and when I got to lemon poppy, my mouth watered!
We had cupcakes Sunday for the little one’s birthday, and then The Mister brought home a slice of fancy cake on Monday from his. Yesterday was surprisingly cake-less!

Oh, the beer cheese dip was delicious! My boss and I both enjoy lemon anything, so it was no surprise that she requested a lemon poppyseed cake (lemon filling too). I looked in the fridge at work this morning for leftovers, but they were all gone. I’m having withdrawals.

I hope the weather’s being kind to you, Mary so you can cycle any excess cakey bits away. This is my recipe for curing over indulgence, that and being a miserable bugger who doesn’t get invited to such fare 😉

Thanks Mary. I knew I could rely on you to recognise my generous disposition while still seeing my requirements for single dining arrangements on occasions, my own retirement do, milestone birthdays and the like.
Sorry to have mentioned the weather, sounds grim. There’s no better way to keep trim then making repetitive trips to the fridge/confectionary cupboard/room to keep your inner kiln burning. 🙂
